of_o adam_n be_v destroy_v and_o pass_v away_o and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a quia_fw-la christianus_n renevatus_fw-la est_fw-la per_fw-la omne_fw-la because_o a_o regenerate_a man_n be_v renew_v in_o all_o thing_n throughout_o in_o every_o part_n and_o power_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o therefore_o the_o regenerate_v be_v quite_o free_a from_o all_o corruption_n of_o sin_n and_o endue_v with_o all_o perfection_n of_o grace_n resp_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o those_o or_o the_o like_a place_n to_o show_v that_o sin_n be_v quite_o abolish_v and_o grace_v perfect_v in_o the_o saint_n no_o otherwise_o then_o i_o show_v unto_o you_o before_o inchoative_a non_fw-fr perfective_a by_o way_n of_o inchoation_n not_o perfection_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o these_o form_n or_o phrase_n will_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v two_o special_a thing_n first_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o now_o sin_n be_v like_o a_o serpent_n crush_v in_o the_o head_n according_a as_o god_n say_v gen._n 3.15_o that_o the_o promise_a seed_n shall_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o therefore_o can_v never_o recover_v his_o former_a strength_n nor_o any_o way_n hurt_v the_o regenerate_a man_n but_o only_o to_o bruise_v his_o heel_n that_o be_v by_o the_o wriggle_a of_o her_o tail_n to_o cause_v some_o temporary_a affliction_n to_o light_v upon_o they_o second_o to_o signify_v unto_o we_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o main_a scope_n of_o all_o saint_n to_o strive_v continual_o to_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o do_v their_o best_a endeavour_n to_o be_v clean_o rid_v of_o they_o and_o for_o to_o perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 2_o cor._n 7.1_o and_o this_o be_v plain_o intimate_v unto_o we_o in_o all_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o where_o we_o be_v advise_v to_o abstain_v from_o filthy_a lust_n and_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o like_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o lust_n no_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o we_o to_o what_o end_n be_v we_o bid_v to_o mortify_v they_o script_n 3_o 1_o john_n 3.9_o quote_v before_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o therefore_o say_v they_o the_o regenerate_a sin_n not_o answ_n first_o he_o sin_v not_o to_o death_n for_o they_o do_v not_o whole_o forsake_v god_n albeit_o they_o may_v sin_v against_o their_o conscience_n but_o they_o retain_v still_o some_o beginning_n of_o true_a godliness_n by_o which_o as_o by_o spark_n they_o be_v stir_v again_o to_o repentance_n as_o david_n peter_n and_o other_o second_o he_o sin_v not_o as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v but_o he_o sin_v as_o long_o as_o he_o abide_v in_o this_o life_n sin_v not_o reign_v in_o he_o and_o yet_o sometime_o reign_v too_o as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v but_o in_o part_n and_o in_o part_n carnal_a for_o regeneration_n or_o renew_v we_o to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v not_o perfect_v in_o a_o instant_n but_o be_v begin_v only_o in_o this_o life_n as_o i_o have_v former_o show_v you_o and_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v at_o length_n finish_v for_o so_o do_v john_n himself_o pronounce_v of_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o life_n 1_o john_n 1._o if_o we_o say_v etc._n etc._n and_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forigve_n we_o our_o sin_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o st._n john_n that_o the_o regenerate_v indeed_o do_v sin_n but_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o that_o they_o make_v much_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o do_v so_o at_o any_o time_n yield_v and_o assent_v to_o evil_a desire_n that_o they_o cast_v away_o all_o love_n of_o godliness_n and_o repent_v not_o for_o always_o in_o the_o regenerate_a there_o remain_v some_o remnant_n of_o a_o regenerate_a nature_n which_o cause_v either_o a_o strife_n against_o sin_n or_o else_o true_a repentance_n that_o be_v it_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o sin_n to_o everlasting_a destruction_n or_o thus_o more_o brief_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n make_v not_o a_o trade_n of_o sin_v he_o live_v not_o in_o his_o sin_n he_o lie_v not_o in_o his_o sin_n he_o delight_v not_o in_o his_o sin_n he_o sin_n not_o with_o purpose_n with_o pleasure_n with_o malice_n with_o perseverance_n sin_n reign_v not_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o evil_a that_o i_o do_v i_o will_v not_o do_v etc._n etc._n object_n it_o be_v say_v his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o sin_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sol._n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n remain_v in_o he_o so_o that_o he_o can_v sin_v a_o sin_n unto_o death_n he_o can_v come_v under_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n script_n 4_o 1_o pet._n 1.23_o bring_v bear_v a_o new_a not_o of_o mortal_a seed_n but_o of_o immortal_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n who_o live_v for_o ever_o if_o therefore_o say_v they_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n word_n never_o die_v in_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v a_o new_a they_o ever_o remain_v regenerate_v and_o ever_o retain_v grace_n neither_o ever_o fall_v into_o sin_n answ_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o regenerate_a may_v loose_v and_o do_v often_o loose_v grace_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o concern_v some_o gift_n sometime_o more_o sometime_o few_o although_o they_o lose_v it_o not_o if_o we_o respect_v all_o the_o gift_n for_o still_o there_o abide_v in_o they_o some_o beginning_n or_o print_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o conversion_n which_o although_o when_o they_o yield_v to_o evil_a inclination_n or_o desire_n it_o be_v so_o oppress_a and_o darken_v that_o it_o neither_o can_v be_v know_v of_o other_o neither_o confirm_v they_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o their_o own_o salvation_n for_o the_o present_a yet_o it_o suffer_v they_o not_o whole_o to_o forsake_v god_n and_o the_o know_a truth_n and_o to_o cast_v away_o their_o purpose_n of_o embrace_v by_o faith_n the_o merit_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o david_n pray_v psal_n 51.10_o 11._o create_v in_o i_o a_o clean_a heart_n o_o god_n and_o renew_v a_o right_a spirit_n within_o i_o and_o restore_v i_o to_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n he_o have_v lose_v therefore_o cleanness_n of_o heart_n rightness_n and_o newness_n of_o spirit_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o salvation_n which_o he_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o be_v restore_v unto_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o whole_o want_v they_o for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o have_v ask_v neither_o will_v he_o have_v look_v for_o from_o god_n this_o renue_n and_o restore_v second_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n work_v true_a faith_n and_o conversion_n in_o the_o elect_n abide_v and_o die_v not_o in_o the_o regenerate_a as_o concern_v their_o coversion_n and_o final_a perseverance_n how_o ever_o they_o may_v fall_v often_o grievous_o and_o foul_o before_o their_o end_n if_o they_o have_v be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v with_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o john_n 2.19_o script_n 5_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n answ_n i_o answer_v it_o can_v as_o it_o be_v good_a which_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o if_o it_o be_v partly_o good_a and_o partly_o evil_a such_o be_v the_o fruit_n also_o whereof_o we_o have_v sufficient_a trial_n and_o experience_n in_o this_o life_n script_n 6_o eph._n 5.25_o 26_o 27._o this_o show_v we_o how_o christ_n in_o this_o life_n by_o the_o word_n &_o sacrament_n and_o the_o operation_n of_o grace_n do_v cleanse_v we_o that_o in_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n we_o may_v be_v perfect_o holy_a without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n and_o that_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n i_o shall_v prove_v by_o these_o ensue_a reason_n reas_n 1_o first_o reason_n because_o here_o we_o be_v absent_a from_o christ_n and_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o so_o although_o we_o love_v inchoative_o yet_o we_o love_v not_o perfect_o reas_n 2_o second_o reason_n because_o otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v no_o distinction_n between_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n if_o grace_n be_v consummate_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n reas_n 3_o third_z reason_n because_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n have_v sin_n remain_v in_o they_o and_o they_o that_o deny_v it_o be_v liar_n and_o no_o truth_n in_o they_o and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o the_o father_n against_o the_o novatian_o and_o donatist_n so_o understand_v the_o place_n the_o church_n triumphant_a without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n and_o not_o the_o church_n militant_a script_n 7_o 2_o tim._n 4.7_o paul_n have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n and_o finish_v his_o course_n and_o
